UPDATE: The initial report was missing the Phillies' home opener. With the addition of the attendance figure, 2010 will see a slight decrease in opener attendance for 2010 as opposed to a decline of 3.4% as initially reported. We apologize for the inconvenience.

UPDATE #2 - The associated table now has seating capacity of each ballpark along with how much of capacity each opener filled it.

With the Dodgers and Yankees being the final clubs to host opening games for the 2010 season on Tuesday, the 2010 season saw a total of 1,314,428 in total paid attendance for the 30 openers, down 0.1 percent from 1,313,137 for 2009 when the Yankees and Mets each opened new ballparks. Even though there was a slight decline, ballparks were filled to an average of 101 percent of capacity.

The highest attended opener goes to the Dodgers who drew 56,000 against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday. They were followed by the Braves (53,081, Cubs the opponent, Jason Heyward debut), Rangers (50,299, Blue Jays the opponent), Rockies (49,509, Padres the opponent), and Yankees (49,293, Angels the opponent).

The lowest attended season opener goes to the Athletics who saw 30,686 on Monday the 5th against the Mariner, followed by the Rays (36,973, opponent the Orioles.) The third lowest draw had little to do with disinterest and everything to do with ballpark seating capacity. The Sunday night season opener between the Yankees and Red Sox at Fenway Park drew 37,440. The Target Field opener for the Twins against the Red Sox was the fourth lowest attended opener at 38,145, although the game was deemed a sellout due to comps, VIPs, and media. By comparison, in the final opener at the Metrodome in 2009, the Twins drew 48,514 against the Mariners. If the Metrodome attendance figure were to be applied to 2010, asÂ opposed to the lower draw due to seating capacity at the new Target Field, league openers for 2010 would have seen an 0.8 percent increase as opposed to 0.1 percent decline. Rounding out the Top 5 lowest attended openers was the White Sox at 38,935 on Monday 4/5 against the Indians.

The Biz of Baseball will be reporting on attendance difference between each of the 30 openers and the second game of the season for each club in the league on Thursday.
